During the Hollywood premiere earlier this week, Feige spoke with the Associated Press about the leaks. “I wasn’t pleased (about the leak), it’s not cool, it’s not fun,” said Feige. “But the response was what I expected, which was everybody turning it off, dismissing it, (saying) ‘don’t watch it, don’t spoil it for anybody else.’ People are excited to see the movie fresh; people are excited to see the movie for the first time. That’s what they’ve been waiting a year or 12 years (for), depending on where you joined us. I’m excited that that day is finally here.”

Last week, directors Joe and Anthony Russo posted a letter online. In it, they implored to fans to enjoy Endgame for what it had to offer, without ruining the experience. “Because so many of you have invested your time, and your souls into these stories, we’re once again asking for your help,” the duo wrote. “When you see Endgame in the coming weeks, please don’t spoil it for others, the same way you wouldn’t want it spoiled for you. Remember, Thanos still demands your silence.”
